Answer: There could be 12 largest possible squares cut from paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of paper = 48 cm

Width of paper = 36 cm

We need to cut it into squares,thr biggest possible,sothat there is no wasted material.

So, H.C.F. of 48, and 36 = 12

So dimension of each square woul be 12 cm

So, Area of paper = 48×36 = 1728 sq. cm

Area of square = 12 × 1 2 = 144 sq. Cm

So, Number of largest square formed from paper = 1728 ÷ 144 = 12

Hence, there could be 12 largest possible squares cut from paper.
